One way would be to create a short shell script to play a wav file with
the "play" command, then to launch the application that was required.
E.g.
#!/bin/bash
play /path/to/some/file.wav
firefox
Then setup a desktop icon to run this shell script.

I'll come back to you tomorrow on this, as it's getting a bit late. Playing
the .wav/.ogg works ok using play, but I'm not sure how to set up the
shellscript to start playing the .wav, then launch the app.
